Dragg-on Posted December 15, 2003 Report Posted December 15, 2003 Have you ever noticed that, there are replacement( aftermarket) parts for every part of a drag banshee, other than the cases, which would still be moded for strocker cranks. My point is that starting with a stock banshee or even a piped shee is literally a waste of $7k, or what ever you spent, if you end up going full drag. For example, I plan to buy a lonestar frame, aluminium tank, pingle petcock, Marvin shaws, T-rex, aftermarket CDI, drag axle,................................................. drag steering stem.........PVL, fullbores....................................................................................... .......Even new clear hoses, whatever I didnt mention I already have aftermarket, so why the hell did I start w/ a stock banshee?

MULLET~BOY Posted December 15, 2003 Report Posted December 15, 2003 if you know your gona be building a dragg bike then it is best just to build ground up but alot of people like me i started just having fun with it then decided to put pipes then somhow decided they just want to dragg race Quote
Screamin_Banshee Posted December 15, 2003 Report Posted December 15, 2003 it s just the progression of the disease. NYUK hit it dead on...You start out on a stock or piped shee, then get whipped by a bigger/faster machine and have to go faster. Some parts here, some there, next thing you know u have a full on drag bike. Quote
shift350 Posted December 16, 2003 Report Posted December 16, 2003 and for me the stock parts then go on eBay... Quote
NYUK Posted December 16, 2003 Report Posted December 16, 2003 and every other part that gets upgraded from last season. Quote
WickedBanshee Posted December 16, 2003 Report Posted December 16, 2003 i agree, you start off just wanting to dune ride then get sucked into the drag scene. also not many people can just drop the kinda cash it takes to make a drag bike right off the bat. gotta slowly gradually make it faster or sit around w/ nothing for like 5 yrs til ya got the money to go all out. i'd rather slowly go thru the process being that i am poor.
